Yuendumu celebrates end of violence

The remote central Australian community of Yuendumu is celebrating one year without a major violent incident.

A peace and mediation process has been operating in the community in a bid to bring a feud between rival families to an end.

The Central Desert Shire president, Adrian Dixon, says the reconciliation process is working and peace has returned to the community.

"I'm really proud about the people in Yuendumu that we have solved our own problems and built harmonies and as the president of the Central Desert Shire I'm really proud of what the Mediation and Justice Committee did," he said.
